The Vikingskipet Olympic Arena is an indoor speed skating facility in Hamar, Norway. The hall is also used for other purposes, such as athletics, soccer, concerts, trade fairs and other categories of events. The Gathering demo party is annually arranged in the Vikingskipet. The Vikingskipet was originally built for the 1994 Winter Olympics, and is currently owned and operated by Hamar Olympiske Anlegg (HOA). The name means "the Viking ship", and the roof construction of the arena makes it reminiscent of a ship turned upside down. An April Fools joke on NRK told people the building was actually constructed so that, if turned upside down, it will float and (theoretically) may be used as a boat.
